PGM 861 "NIGHT LIGHT" : Week of Jan 02, 2009...

The austere folk music of Norway and the Scandinavian countries has a paradox at its heart: in a land of frigid, Arctic winters and stark, glacial landscapes, the music overflows with warmth and beauty. And while the winter days are dark, the nights are illuminated by the intoxicating spectacle of the northern lights.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a Nordic winter's journey called NIGHT LIGHT. Music is by ANNBJORG LIEN, LENA WILLEMARK & ALE MOLLER, OYSTEIN SEVAG, and introducing the sublime voice of VIDIA WESENLUND from an album of Norwegian lullabies produced by MICHAEL STEARNS.
